1. The mood of this photo is dark and sad and depressing. It appears that something may be wrong with the girl or something bad happened to her that she is dwelling on it in this photo. The photographer conveys this by putting the photo in black and white, the photo looks dark and dirty. The texture of the walls are stained and look worn out, and the railing also looks like its old and deteriorating. The photographer could have chose this setting to go along with how the girl is feeling, like she is worn out and done with something. The feeling of her sadness is also shown by the angle of her face and how it is positioned and how her head is down, and she is slouched over. The girl seems to be set up above something because she is placed on the level looking down, so there is something under her. This gives the picture another mood of being mysterious. It forces the viewer so question what is down there and what she is looking at. It makes you wonder if it is something bad or just something ordinary because of her facial expressions. This photo is balanced because the girl is almost in the middle of the photo and it is equal space on both sides of her. The photographer also using the angle of being set back. Its like we are on the balcony with her looking at her. There is a beam of a light that is reflecting off her shoulder, and this lower part of her dress, this draws emphasis to the girl.
2.In this photograph it shows a sense of tiredness, and a hard working mother.The mood shows that there could be some stress and worry. This is portrayed through her facial expressions. Her eyes are squinted and her hair appears to be messy and out of place. She looks like she has been working hard, because this could be her child that she has to take care of. Viewing this i get the sense that she is poor because her clothes appear to be tattered and worn out, this shows how she is hardworking as well. The photograph uses low depth of field, because the background of the photo is not in focus but the women and the baby are and it puts emphasis on them. The photograph could have done this to show emphasis on her and the child. The womens hands look rough and her nails look dirty. The background takes place in a open field that looks really dry and hot, that could be another reason the women and child look tired and worn out, due to the setting of this photo. This photo also shows movement, you can see it in her hair and also the grass and trees in the back ground appear to be in movement. The color choice of black and white adds to the overall mood, adding to the feeling of tiredness and being worn out. It almost makes you feel bad for the women and child.
3. Looking at this photo, you get a sense of free spirit and youth-fullness. The picture also looks youthful and lively because of the colors chosen, such as the green of the trees and grass, and the yellow of the road lines. Some of the buildings are red and they show good contrast. These kids are running through the middle of this road,and they seem to be like there not rushing but almost like there taking there time and don't really care about their surroundings. The back ground of this photo is very open and because of the long road and the open sky it draws you into it, and gives you a sense that your right there. I think the photographer includes all the open space to go along with the mood, and how these kids have no boundaries and they can venture anywhere without anyone saying anything about it.This photograph also shows the use of lines, for example on the roads and the buildings and telephone poles. The artist could also be showing a relationship between the 3 boys, like brothers and the oldest one is leading the group. The boys in the back could be the younger brothers and there following there older brother to wherever he is going. This photo looks like it is taken from a higher level than where the boys are standing almost like the viewer is looking slightly down on them.
4. From looking at this photograph I get the feeling of happiness and that this lady seems to be witty and joyful about something or just in general. The photographer conveys this through her smile, and the look in her eyes. Almost like she just laughed or is about to laugh at something that has happened. I also get the feelings that this ladies has been through a lot, and has experienced a lot. Her face is really wrinkled and there are dark spots on her face which could either be just birthmarks or even sun marks, from being outside a lot. This could also be the artist explains how she is a hardworking and has done a lot over the years. The artists uses angles effectively that help one understand the mood. Her eyes are positioned to the left of the photo, and her head is titled slightly to the left as well. I get the sense that she is confident, because of her intelligences because of her experiences she has been through, because she is and elder. You can tell she could be confident because of the way she dresses. She is wearing nice earrings, and it looks like she is wearing some kind of dressy suit or nice top. Her hair is in place and it looks brushed nice. The lighting also is bright which shows her happiness and liveliness.
5. The artist is Duane Michael's. Immediately looking at this you get a depressing feeling, and sadness. The artist shows the man angled over the guy laying down, and it looks like he is analyzing him or making assumptions about him. You get a sense of this because of the way his hands are positioned and how they are crossed. The texture of the wall is dirty and gives the picture an eerie mood. The lighting is coming in from the left, and the lighting creates shadows of the man standing up. The colors of black are used effectively in this photo, and it makes it more dark and depressing, since he is dressed in all black. This photo could be telling the story of how he is looking at himself in the future, or he could be representing a spiritual being and he is coming back in the spiritual realm looking at his dead or sick earthly body. I get the sense that the man laying down is dead because he is wrapped in cloth, and often times when someone is either sick or dead they are wrapped up in cloths, also the angle of the man and how he is laying down shows he is either sick or dead. The bottom of the bed and cloth is transparent and is see through, which adds to the idea that this is some kind of spiritual being. The man standing could be looking back at his life, and thinking about things that went wrong or right, or things he wish he did or didn't do.
